5 THOMAS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 THOMAS CLOSE sales between September 2001 and August 2022 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2005 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 5 THOMAS CLOSE be worth now?
